Andal, of 1625 Celtic Drive, was booked Tuesday with computer-aided solicitation of a minor. Sheriff's Office detective Nicholas Vega was already investigating Andal for a separate allegation of sexually soliciting a minor when they discovered the video of the North Carolina girl, the report said.

The recording of the web cam chat was found during a forensic search of Andal's computer hard drive. Authorities determined that the chat occurred in 2008, the report said.

Vega identified the victim, who is now about 18, and interviewed her about her illicit correspondence with Andal. The victim told investigators Andal, who was approximately 20 years old at the time, was aware that she was 14, but continued to chat with her, the report said.

Andal allegedly convinced the girl to masturbate for the camera, then made an hour-long recording of the video chat. He told investigators he recorded the video to his computer for "safe keeping," the arrest report said.

Authorities booked him with an additional charge of possession of child pornography. Andal was still being held Wednesday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna on a $30,000 bond.

Little information was available Wednesday about the original solicitation investigation, which began in July, according to Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office. Andal's computer hard drive was seized a short time later.

Fortunato did not give any details about that case. But Andal was arrested by the Sheriff's Office on July 3 and booked with having carnal knowledge of a juvenile, according to court records.

Fortunato would not say whether the two cases are connected. But he did say Andal could face additional charges. Stay with NOLA.com as more information becomes available.
